WARRANTY INFORMATION
None. This bulletin is for information only.
Checking Cell Phone Compatibility
The most important step in troubleshooting HFL issues is to identify the clients phone model, the software version, and the carrier that experiences the
HFL problem. Not all phones with the Bluetooth feature and a hands-free profile are compatible with the HFL system.
Here is the best method to confirm if the phone is compatible:
1. Log onto www.acura.com/handsfreelink.
2. Select Find a Phone.
3. Choose the vehicle model you are working on, then select CONTINUE.
